Night

Night 

it's to be a time of rest and restart

yet all I know is how it tears apart

a family

a love

a being

it was night

that a young girl had her heart shattered

she beatebed herself, bruised and battered

what has she done

she asked

what have I done

what has she done?

her mind played a horror film 

full of lies and mistakes

and images of Her and Him

she wanted a life with the one she trusted

she knew all her faith and trust was busted

it was night, she cried herself to sleep

At night

a father was taken from his family

his children and wife crying from that insanity

he was innocent, he was gentle, he was kind

yet all that was out of the executors mind

his only son

no longer wanting to be a man

his daughters weep, 

blaming themselves for the prions keep

only one didn't shed a tear 

because she knew 

all was to come true of her fears. 

That night, unlike the other, she didn't weep

A bottle or blade

was not foreign to young renegade 

she bled like a warrior

she drank like a broken woman

was it punishment or a reminder

she was not a girl anymore

several more nights

the bottle no longer was good 

the cuts not scars

she needed to face it

she had her walls up and ready

she needed to be there and steady

the night was no longer going to be a time of mourn 

instead every night she'll be reborn

she vowed to make it til sunrise

she will go forward 

she'll reach the prize

she has made it to sunrise.
